Nice to see you in my home town of Kerrville. Enjoyed the Westcliff video. Was there a few years ago for a visit. Have traveled with you on most of your video and enjoyed them all across the USA. Just keep on truckin'!
I love your videos, I feel like I am right there with you. Plus they are informative; I think I shall have a new respect for trucks on the roads going forward.
Mike, I love watching the snow video's. You drive like a lot of us...confident. It's the follow the leader people that drive me "NUTS"....or the sheep people that are doing the bitching. Keep doing what your doing...except the singing....LOL !
Alright shotgun i think ur video's ar good as you talk about what ur doing and sound's like u got lot of experience driving in snow and i enjoy watching and listening to u 😁 Gordon fae Scotland
I been driving in snow for over 30 plus yrs here in PA in the mountains in Somerset country ,I drove thru blizzards and lake effect snow (which is horrible ) ,but my only advice to people is don't rush ,go slow ,don't tramp on brakes (worse thing to do ) but going up hills you have to move it . which after watching your videos you say the same type things ,,I do enjoy your videos ,I never travel anywhere and this is how I see places I will never get to see . thank you for taking me on the ride ,in riding shotgun woot :) .
People that tries to tell other people their business are people that can't run their own business we do not have to tell you how to drive we never driven a big truck and you are doing just fine may the Lord bless you and your wife
Nice vid of my town. Some SA drivers do suck when it comes to driving in rain/snow/ice. Most of it due to not keeping their faces off the phones. You drove by Eisenhauer Rd. (23:25) .. had you turned there and gone west a bit, we could have said "Howdy" 🤠from my workplace. Enjoy the vids, especially the scenic/snow ones. Safe travels. Side note: There are actually 3 In/Out burgers. They're a'ight. 🍔
your doing fine,haters are jealous.....your snow driving ability is right up to par more jealous ppl.....I like your comments makes me laugh but your spot on..
I'm from San Antonio and people drive stupid. Especially when it rains... Its always like big news....sometimes our news media goes overboard reporting rain. Yeah we do have bad drivers..I love to ride with you....love the scenery. People can just be mean coz that's just like what they live off of..,ignore them and keep rolling.
I get a kick out of negative comments. That’s fuel for your mind. Atleast how I see it, kinda odd but is what it is. Let them blah blah blah on. But on a serious note, those trucks are nice, much better than my Pete in a turning radius prospective. I would’ve never turned around in that Lott. I pull a 48 ft bulk tank. Awesome driving, when you do something long enough, you know your limitations aka (driving in snow). Every truck an driver is different. The only comment I have there is don’t go outside your comfort zone. Thanks for the video!
@@ridingshotgun1251 ...think I'd like to get my CDL. Can't do it for a few years, kids are still at home. Will put me in my late '50s and would be a big career change. I know some drivers would call me crazy for saying that but I'm in good health and would like to get out on the road.
I forgot to ask, what is the name of that burger place? Not InandOut but the other one? Have you tried BurgerIM? What is the names of some good Mexican food places in TX?
Next door to your Kerrville stop is one of the best restaurants "Del Norte " great food been there since 1955 .. my home town - thats Harper road u got off & back on interstate 10 .
I love driving in blazzards, white outs, I love the rush..I live in North centrual Ohio , so we have had our snow days/weeks lol ..I have never been stuck, I have never had an accident of any kind..Yet people are always telling me..your day is coming..its like they hope` I have an accident of some type..idiots.. I have driven in 3rd level storms where it is against the law to be on the road, haha.you just have to know how to drive in the condition your in.. I have driven with front wheel drive, 4x4, and rear wheel drive..its other people I am more concern with..lol / I use to storm chase to...you gotta love the weather..You sir are doing fine, just keep on keeping on.. :))
MMMike...¿como esta amigo? In days gone by it used to downpour in S.Antonio. which is semi-arid! FYI: Houston Metro is now over 7 million & DFW Metroplex is just slightly larger! Thks for good ride & commentary! Be safe! Peace!
Mike. Whenever they are critics. Just tell them to come and take the wheel. All of those PERFECT people who ridicule, and complain are just jealous because they aren't able to prove how PERFECT they think they are. Otherwise. Just tell them "KMA"...Thanks.
Wish you could put a camera to look behind your truck to your trailer to appreciate how you park and turn and back up, I find this video very interesting, but it makes me very anxious about looking at the rear. Thanx.
I laughed when you first started as I thought you were saying a joke about "hill country" of TX. A few more minutes in, I do see it is rolling hills...nice. I promise I won't criticize your driving again. I am a horrible back seat driver these days. I hate to be on I80 anymore. When did LA traffic move up to Northern CA?....it keeps getting worse. I don't go out much. Now that I am retired we love staying at home. We get culture shock when we go out on the busy highway. In CA there is plenty of a#$hole drivers. You do have excellent driving skills, especially in the snow. I just cringe when I notice things. Oh and I hate those cement blocks on the highway. They freak me out but I see they don't bother you a bit. We need some of that rain. Maybe next week. Oh and the accidents after the first rain I am sure you know is from people not slowing down as the oil on the roads come up with the rain. People in cars should learn to slow down on the first rain. You have big tires that grip the road.
@@oldlady6229 These are found also on main roads as well as construction. Those concrete barriers are known as Jersey barriers or K-rails. The odd shape, wider at the bottom, is made to minimize impact on a vehicle in a crash, and to prevent a car from crossing over the barrier into traffic or construction. As a tire starts to travel up the lower part of the barrier it loses momentum causing the vehicle to turn away from the barrier. These were developed in New Jersey many years ago, at one of the universities. Yea he does drive in some tight places, doesn't he? Lol
I can tell you this about Kerrville, it's a haven for retirees with plenty of money. The Exxon Oil people flock there and it's expensive. Don't let that small Hill Country town image fool you. BTW, I live in for the past 38 years and all of the Hill Country is cool and picturesque, but it don't cater to the once upon a time free spirits it use to. Just saying . Happy Motoring!!!
You doing a good job driving you're really cautious you sometimes obey the speed limit but that can be you never know from state to state you drive good in the snow I watch a lot of videos where tow truck drivers have to pull trucks out of the ditch you're up over out of the gutters and all that stuff just tried the way you want to drive the way you feel safe these people they're telling you you're too cautious with like I just said go buy that
Thanks Mike you sure have a lot of small yards to deliver good job. All those complaining comment if you don’t like what I do don’t watch you can’t please them all lol peace!!!
Hi Mike, If people don't like the way you drive it's simple, don't watch the videos. A friend told me, You can get 10 positive comments and 1 negative and it is the negative one that will stay in your mind I was sitting here feeling crummy until I watched Riding Shot Gun and it picked me up. Thank you I look forward to the next drive with you. Peace
I'm not a truck driver, so don't know anything about trucking. Although I no longer drive due to my visual disability, when I did driver, drove in all kinds of road conditions, so know how it is to drive in snowy conditions, and can only Imagine what it must be like in a semi? On the issue of driving hours, I wouldn't mine seeing a vid explaining how long you truckers are aloud to drive for and if varies from state to state? also what;s that beeping I hear ever so often in your vids?
mcibus2000 the beeping is a warning that our truck is closing the distance to a vehicle ahead of us. The closer we get, the faster the beep. Mike has to either slow down, or move over and pass.
Thanks for the ride Senor Shotgun! Enjoyed the drive from Kerrville to San Antonio. Let me out before you start talking about politics. I'm an expert on nothing, with opinions on everything! Hey, almost forgot. Happy Thanksgiving to you amigo!
Just watched a video about the hottest towns in America and San Antonio was near the top of the list. Now you're telling us its only 43 degs. The locals must be well wrapped up
I watch videos of crashes a lot. It's amazing how many people don't know how to drive. They should make people take a IQ test before they get there license. The roads wouldn't be near as crowded. Be safe. Peace !!!
I Have my own GOLDEN RULE for all of the critics. I tell them. "When you promise to pay all of my bills, house me, feed me, and give me everything I need. THEN, and only THEN will I do whatever you say!" "Until then, and Until You agree to do that. Shut up.
I've never driven a truck, but I can tell you are doing it wrong! Just kidding, but seriously I saw a show where the Italians has placed a cannon on top of a mountain during WWI and they were explaining how they got it up there. The guy said when it was around 32 degrees the snow was wet and it was like dragging it through mud. When it was really cold the snow was dry and it was like dragging it through sand. I immediately thought of you when he said that. Made me laugh thinking they could have gotten you to narrate for them. I have never driven a truck, but always wanted too since I watched Movin On when I was a kid. Do it to it like Sonny Pruitt.
We're I live in N.C the people here do not know how drive in snow. They like to do the dump thing of wanting to play in it. I was raised in the mountains and know how to drive in it. They have so many accidents it not funny here. In Texas and Virgina they do not know how to drive at all. LOL. I have lived and drove in both states.
ITS HELEN...MIKE EVERYONE HAS AN OPINION...YOU CAN NOT PLEASE EVERYONE. AND YOU MENTIONED HOW PEOPLE COMMENT ON YOUR DRIVING IN THE SNOW...YOU ARE A SEASONED DRIVER FOR MANY YEARS AND TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT. YOU DRIVE BAREFOOT AND WITH CHAINS..YOU KNOW YOUR JOB...SO ALL THE NAYSAYERS, YOU KEEP YOUR OPINIONS TO YOURSELF....
You're talking about Pete Beutechek, all need be known is he knowingly and wantenly sins against God, a poor decision on his part and not leadership qualities.
I think your video are awesome. Screw the dissenters, you're a pro and it shows.
You are finally getting close to my neck of the woods of Houston.
Don't let them get you down, Mike. Just drive your way and forget the naysayers.
love seeing San Antonio, show more signs of the towns and cities..
Will do.. thanks for watching ☮️
No matter what you say or do someone is not going to like it......Your channel is great and love the night drives in snow, you have serious skills!
Nice to see you in my home town of Kerrville. Enjoyed the Westcliff video. Was there a few years ago for a visit. Have traveled with you on most of your video and enjoyed them all across the USA. Just keep on truckin'!

I really enjoy the snow trucking videos. Find them very cool and relaxing. Whole different world from what I see here in Northern Virginia lol
Mike, you sure cover a lot of territory. Love seeing the USA from my chair in Ohio.
Hey Mike..nice drive in the wooded area of Texas..thank you..✌peace ☮
Keep Rolling Mike!👍👍
Water tank I think
I enjoy your videos, it takes me back to when i drove, im disabled now so i watch you ...lol. keep up the good work.
I like ur smart ass remarks. Keep up the good wOrk👍
Mike, I love watching the snow video's. You drive like a lot of us...confident. It's the follow the leader people that drive me "NUTS"....or the sheep people that are doing the bitching. Keep doing what your doing...except the singing....LOL !
Aloha from Hawaii love ur videos

Texas roads the best in the USA! Live them!
It is a nice drive and nice scenery.
I Believe you just made me LOL with that tank that looked like Mr Quigward's Head!!
People that tries to tell other people their business are people that can't run their own business we do not have to tell you how to drive we never driven a big truck and you are doing just fine may the Lord bless you and your wife
You put yourself out there, it's on you. Leaves you wide open for criticism 😔. I love you're videos.
Love this video and your vibe my man. Be safe.
Nice vid of my town. Some SA drivers do suck when it comes to driving in rain/snow/ice. Most of it due to not keeping their faces off the phones. You drove by Eisenhauer Rd.

Haters gonna hate. Keep the hammer down and say f#{k em.

Sorry Mike, it's Houston We HAD a Problem. Keep those wheels rolling Mike! Great vids.

If they have a tornado hits in Jefferson Heights Neighborhood (San Antonio area)
Just down the road from Kerrville/San Antonio. Swing by west side of Austin, I need a road trip.
Lol... love road trips.. even still today but the miles I have put on have diminished the Luster it used to have for me.. but I still love it..
@@ridingshotgun1251 ...think I'd like to get my CDL. Can't do it for a few years, kids are still at home. Will put me in my late '50s and would be a big career change. I know some drivers would call me crazy for saying that but I'm in good health and would like to get out on the road.

Next door to your Kerrville stop is one of the best restaurants "Del Norte " great food been there since 1955 .. my home town - thats Harper road u got off & back on interstate 10 .
One question how much does your company pay. Is it by mile or percentage?

the reason people crash in the rain in the south is, the oil in the tarmac rises to the top when it rains makes certain spots slippery.
I just imagine The 13th Floor Elevators out there making strange, beautiful music up in the hills on a ranch.
Ready to roll out.
good to see def parts of usa i never been there do all my trucking in alberta canada.pulling king trains hauling logs to a pulp mill
Hi from Winnipeg Canada Awesome video and sound :)
What kind of truck you driving?
MMMike...¿como esta amigo? In days gone by it used to downpour in S.Antonio. which is semi-arid! FYI: Houston Metro is now over 7 million & DFW Metroplex is just slightly larger! Thks for good ride & commentary! Be safe! Peace!

is that volvo a automatic?
Do truckers have a use for those cb radios? Ok sure to see I just don't know? Thanks
These are great viewing.
Wish you could put a camera to look behind your truck to your trailer to appreciate how you park and turn and back up, I find this video very interesting, but it makes me very anxious about looking at the rear. Thanx.

People can't drive in beautiful weather in Texas. LOL You should see the reaction to snow in
Texas.
I know exactly this spot :) haha
Hi Mike. Lots happened politically since this video was made.
Still has the squick in the brakes.
Driving something big especially sometimes shows man's inhumanity to man. No doubt about that.
We're I live in N.C the people here do not know how drive in snow. They like to do the dump thing of wanting to play in it.
I was raised in the mountains and know how to drive in it.
They have so many accidents it not funny here.
In Texas and Virgina they do not know how to drive at all. LOL.
I have lived and drove in both states.
Yes we do the s a a p does not run from kerrville to San antonio any more tore up by the old sp
